The Greatest Thing After Creation

"Genesis 1:1" digital art video by Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.

The greatest thing to happen after creation was communication.

Without communication there will be no civilization.

- Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.

The most amazing verse in the Holy Bible is John 1:1.

Infact, creation began with communication when God commanded all things into existence by the command of His Word.

Genesis 1:3.

To create is to communicate.

There is no creation without communication.

Science has never doubted or refuted the existence of God; 

Infact, science has reaffirmed it: from the Big Bang Theory to Quantum Physics to Artificial Intelligence.

There is what I call the Equation of the existence of God.

The Equation of God is beyond mortal knowledge, because mortality cannot comprehend immortality.

Only Fake Christians Don't Have the Gift of Discernment

 

ONLY FAKE CHRISTIANS DON'T HAVE THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT

◄ Hosea 4:6 ►

"My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

****

Stupidity is of the devil and not of God

There is an epidemic of gullibility and stupidity among majority of Nigerians.

Unfortunately, majority of Nigerians claiming and lying that they are "Christians" are mere fake Christians, because they don't have any relationship with the Holy Spirit of God.

Without any relationship with the Holy Spirit, you don't have any relationship with God. The Holy Spirit is the essence of the existence of God through out eternity. 

Read Genesis 1 and John 1:1.

Don't mistake churchgoers for Christians.

Going to church does not mean you are a Christian.

Witches and wizards and agents of Satan also go to churches and they also quote verses from the holy scriptures to deceive those without the gift of Discernment.

Without the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you cannot be a Christian.

The apostles did not become Christians until they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem as our Lord, Redeemer, Saviour and MESSIAH JESUS Christ promised.

Acts 1:8-

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

****

If you have the Holy Spirit, you will surely have the gift of Discernment for the Holy Spirit is the revealer of secrets.

Daniel 2:47 The king hath answered Daniel and said, `Of a truth it is that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

***

The Holy Spirit will give you wisdom.

Not the wisdom of the world, but the wisdom of the knowledge of the Word of God.

No Human is Ordinary!
None of us is ordinary, because our Creator is not ordinary.
He is Extraordinary and He made us in His image and after His likeness as it is written in Genesis 1:26:

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

We are Extraordinary beings created by an Extraordinary God.
Therefore, don't settle for less.
Refuse to be ordinary.
Don't let anyone or anything devalue you!
It is rebellion against Almighty God to disregard and downgrade your extraordinary status of the image and likeness of God.
Anyone who looks down at another person as an ordinary fellow is an enemy of God 

Our MESSIAH JESUS Christ confirmed our Extraordinary status  as it is written in Matthew 5:14-16:
"¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

¹⁵ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
¹⁶ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Then His anointed apostle, Saint Peter said in 1 Peter 2:9:
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;"

Refuse to be kept or to be left behind in backwardness and darkness by anyone or anything.
We are extraordinary sons and daughters of our Extraordinary Almighty Father God!
We are the Princes and Princesses of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who reigns in supreme majesty of the Holy Trinity in Eternity.
Manifest the best in the extraordinary image and likeness of Almighty God.

Christian Worldview

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

1. Christian Worldview

"In the beginning God."1

We hear quite a bit these days about the worldview people have. Simply put, one's worldview is the way we view the world in which we live. It serves as a road map for one's life—the guide for the way we live and orchestrate our life. It has to do with one's belief system about the world in which we live.

A Christian worldview is based on reality—on truth—on truth as it is revealed and/or confirmed in God's Word, the Bible, which is the only viable source of truth that can realistically answer the four questions one's worldview takes into account. These questions are as follows:

"Where did I come from?
Why is the world in such a mess?
Is there a way to fix it?
Is there a purpose for my life?"2

First, where did I come from? The Christian believes that we came from God; that in the beginning he created all—including you and me. Because of this we are accountable to him and are morally responsible for all our actions.

Second, why is the world in such a mess? We believe that this is because of sin and evil which was introduced into the world by Satan the devil, a fallen angel, who wanted to dethrone God and become God himself. "I will become as the Most High," he said. Consequently he was dismissed from God's Heaven.3

Tragically, because mankind chose to disobey God's directions and follow Satan's, sin entered the entire human race. Because sin cannot exist and sinners cannot survive in the presence of a holy and just God, any more than a moth can survive in a flame, our sin has destined us to eternal separation from a just and holy God in the place the Bible calls hell—the place prepared for the devil and other fallen angels known as demons.

Third, is there an answer to mankind's dilemma—a way to fix our problem? Fortunately for mankind there is. As the Bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."4

In other words, because God's justice required that the just judgment for all sin is death; that is, eternal separation from God the author of all love and life, God gave his only son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place to pay the just penalty for all our sin. Because of Christ's sacrifice God now offers to all who will accept it a free pardon and the gift of eternal life with God in Heaven forever. Based on the Word of God, Jesus Christ is God's only provision for mankind's sin, and the only way into God's Heaven.5

Fourth, is there a purpose for my life? According the Westminster Shorter Catechism, "Man's chief end [purpose] is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever." We glorify God by living a morally upright life, in loving God and worshipping God, by loving our neighbors as ourselves, and by our service to God. And we serve God primarily by using our God-given natural and spiritual gifts to serve others. The important thing is: do you know what your specific God-given life purpose is?

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank you that your word, the Bible, gives us the only secure road map for all of life's journey—from the cradle to the grave and beyond. Please help me to be certain my world view is in line with your Word so that I will live in harmony with your will here on earth and spend eternity with you in Heaven forever. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus name, amen."

Where's the Missing Link?

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

1. Where's the Missing Link?

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth .... Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."1

"Evolutionists strongly deny the idea that men came from the apes. They insist both came from a hypothetical ape-like ancestor, or a missing link. In their story, man and apes diverged from the imaginary ancestor some seven million years ago. However, there is no evidence that this supposed 'missing link' ancestor ever existed. If it were true, surely some would be fossilized. But none have ever been found.

If it were true, surely some would be fossilized. But none have ever been found.

"Since there is no fossil evidence, let's look at it from the standpoint of genetics. How many genetic mutations it would require for the ape-like ancestor to transition into a human? The only way we know to acquire new genes is to alter existing genes through random mutation. The best alteration science has observed has produced only novel recombinations. Most mutations deteriorate the genetic information and thus harm the offspring. Many mutations are fatal. Evolution would require trillions of innovative mutations to produce man from lower forms. None have been observed."2

I am neither a scientist nor the son of a scientist but I know enough to know that people by and large believe exactly what they want to believe—what they choose to believe—what is most convenient for them. As the old saying goes, "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up."

As Joshua said to the ancient Israelites, "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.... As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."3

If you have never chosen to believe in and serve the LORD [God], I urge you to do that today. For help be sure to read: "How to Be Sure You're a real Christian Without Having to Be Religious" at: http://tinyurl.com/8glq9.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank you that you are the Great Creator and that the world and all that is in it was created by you and is in your hands. Thank you, too, because I have chosen to believe in and trust my life to you, my destiny for eternity is also safely in your hands. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."
